Release schedule of Gen V Season 2

What to expect from Gen V Season 2 

Gen V Season 2 picks up directly after the explosive events of Season 1 and the aftermath of The Boys Season 4, weaving the two stories close together. Marie, Jordan, Emma, and Andre have been seen imprisoned in a harsh rehabilitation center after the Godolkin University massacre, which was planned by Cate and Sam, who unleashed supes that were experimented on in "The Woods."

In the second season, they return to Godolkin University, which is now strictly under martial law following President Calhoun's oath of allegiance to Homelander. The story examines changing relationships, such as Marie and Jordan's growing romance, and Emma's battle with her love for Sam as he adopts a villainous persona. Events at Godolkin are significantly influenced by the events of The Boys Season 4, as Butcher and his group are rushing to turn the virus into a weapon against superhumans, while humans are made to wear identification badges.

Now rewarded for their loyalty to Homelander, Cate and Sam join his White House-approved army, paving the way for Frenchie and Kimiko's capture to fit into the plot of Gen V. However, there is internal strife within Homelander's soldiers as a result of Sam's waning morality and Cate's brutal desire. The fight between supes, humans, and those in between is expected to get more intense in Gen V Season 2 due to increased stakes, treachery, and mounting opposition.
